Coffee Description
A nuanced, multi-layered, experimentally processed Colombia that surfaces tropical fruit notes and sweet herbs with a throughline of decadent cane sugar... This unique microlot comes to us from renowned producers Elmer and Juan Restrepo and their innovative specialty coffee farm Finca Chambaku. Located in Manizales, Colombia, the wet climate creates many challenges for natural processing, making this delicious coffee all the more impressive. Deeply sweet and fruity, the cup has a lovely Sauvignon Blanc acidity and a banana aroma. Tropical, deeply sweet-tart.

About Finca Chambuka of Colombia
Finca Chambakú is located near Manizales, Caldas in the Colombia Central Mountain Range of the Andes. Part of the Colombian Coffee Triangle, it is a high elevation region with striking ridgelines, steep slopes, seismic instability, and fertile volcanic soil.
Chambakú is one of the 17 small farms, or plots, that make up the Restrepo family's Hacienda el Jardín and specializes in unique microlots. El Jardin's founder and owner Elmer Restrepo has been working with coffee for over 40 years and has passed his passion and knowledge on to his son, and now part owner of the farm, Juan Felipe. Their goal is to produce coffee in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way using organic fertilizer and natural water sources while supporting their workers and community. Parts of El Jardin are left uncultivated and designated as natural forest habitats for the local wildlife.

While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
